It's absolutely true that in places like Vegas, they want you out of the room spending money.
And once upon a time I did find it very exciting to see what America was getting months or even years before the UK. Now we get series the same week. Game of Thrones actually simulcast with the Eastern US broadcast (in the small hours). But a couple of points worth noting: - Little things like TVs working properly are as important to some guests as a working shower or comfortable mattresses. Why would you get those right and screw up the TV? - It's a great free trial of a rival service. Thinking about ditching cable for DirecTV? Well you might want to be satisfied with a trial at a Best Western. "I tried DirecTV at a hotel and it was garbage..." Oh for any kind of EPG on any of these sets. What's on now? What's on next? A TV Guide channel was about the best I got. Incidentally, it's pretty much as bad in the UK, although the domestic over the air digital service (Freeview) does have an EPG and/or Now/Next service built in. And if you're not going to offer a PVR facility, fine, but don't supply a remote with buttons that suggest there is one! Anyway, I must now hope that my PVR which was 33% empty when I left it isn't completely stuffed on my return!
